2. Access Disk Management (Windows):
   • Right-click on the Start button and select "Disk Management".
   • The "Initialize Disk" dialog box should appear automatically for new drives. Select MBR (Master Boot Record) or GPT (GUID Partition Table) based on your system's requirements (GPT is recommended for modern systems and drives larger than 2TB, though this 256GB drive can use either). Click "OK".
